The store, in Zeer Rangsit information-technology mall, features a "built to order" concept. It is aimed at being a one-stop shop for smart computer users who need personalised devices that best suit their individual needs.

"Modern consumers are more selective in what they need in a new computer," said Dell (Thailand) managing director Anothai Wettayakorn.

Previously, customers bought products with features that did not suit their needs, he said. But Dell is inviting them to select a new computer according to their own unique requirements.

"At Dell, we understand today's consumer wants a computer to express their individuality and to truly reflect who they are and what they really need," Anothai said.
